Properties

Properties

archive

Full local path of the archive after it is downloaded to the platform specific temp folder. (e.g. C:\TEMP\argstest.xpi)

arguments

args can be passed in through the triggering APIs by attaching a ? and then the rg string to the xpi URL: (e.g. startSoftwareUpdate("http://webserver/argstest.xpi?ARGUMENT_STRING") will result in the value of Install.arguments being ARGUMENT_STRING #). Note that spaces in the arg string are legal. Everything after the question mark is treated as one string which becomes the Install.arguments property.

buildID

The application build ID in the form 20041231. Note that due to branching (different versions of Gecko with different feature sets might be built on the same day), using this property to "detect" the application version may produce false results. Additionally, the build ID can be 0 for custom builds.

jarfile

Alias for archive

platform

Contains information about the platform XPInstall was compiled for/runs on. For example, the value could begin with "Windows", "Macintosh" or "X11" (for Unix/Linux). For more details, see the corresponding code living in the GetInstallPlatform method of class nsInstall.

url

The fully qualified URL of the xpi (file URL, http URL, ftp URL, etc.) (e.g. http://dolfin/sgehani/zzz/ip.xpi). Note, even if triggered using relative URLs this will show the full URL (after qualification).
